Hi everybody

I’m not happy with our building’s caretaker/building manager in our building for many reasons. He is a non-live in caretaker, just comes to work on the building Mon-Friday, as it’s an old style high rise 1970’s building.

I find his “real authority” is that of a “High School Janitor” but acts like he is the headmaster.

I find his attitude, bullying, he is nosey, sensitive to critiscm eg if you ask him to not slam doors on common property or the garbage bins, but is happy to ask others to be quiet. He tries to ignore and sweep “common property” problems under the carpet, and yep he is only human like everyone else and can be prone to being biased (much friendlier to those in the building he likes on a personal level, as opposed to not liking).

I believe he’s employed on a full-time basis.

But yes I as an owner want him sacked, and not even cautions, I find there’s a litany of “duty of care” problems he has done over a 5-year period since he’s been the caretaker, and his attitude about dealing with “common property issues” is amatuer hour level rather than professional. The last building manager, had much better communication skills, friendly to everyone, and better dealing with crisis management.

So yep If I want hims sacked, what are the processes, especially if I get no support from my OC Executive commitee?

If they ignore my request, what is the next legal step to “attempt” to terminate his employment? And what are the caretakers basic legal rights, in defending himself.?
